Saudi Arabia intercepted Houthi missile targeted at Jizan

Saudi Arabia air defence forces intercepted missile launched by Yemen’s Houthi movement rebels at Jizan. Houthi managed TV channel revealed that Badr 1 missile was targeted towards Jizan by Houthi forces. However, Jizan is located at the southwestern region of the country.

According to that channel, missile was fired at a place where Saudi Aramco is developing a huge oil refinery that will start operations from 2019. There were no reports of damage or casualties.

Saudi Arabia and Iran are involved in a proxy war from several years. Houthis have Iranian support and they fired several missiles in a past few months. However, a military alliance led by UAE and other countries intervened in Yemen war in 2015. However, the aim was to end Houthi’s power and to restore the exiled government.
